~ 3 BLOOMS 4 YOU ~

Description

These three peony blooms are from
my flower garden.
They are for my dad who passed
away three years ago today.
The center one is from my mom…
the other two are from
My sister and myself.

I'm not much of a poet BUT...
The poem below is one that I
Came up with myself. :o)

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

It’s Been Three Years
Since You Went Away….
There are so many things to say….

We loved you then…
We miss you now….
If we could bring you back for good
That day would be TODAY somehow

These three blooms go out to you
As you’re in our thoughts each day…..
We know deep down that when it’s time…
Our journey will be your way.

We Love & Miss You Dad... VERY MUCH!!!

Gorgeous all around! It has been 6 yrs at the end of May for my Dad. Sometimes I wake up singing a song. I think it's him singing to me.
Here's the song: I love you a bushel and a peck..A bushel and a peck and a hug around my neck...a hug around my neck and a barrel and a heap..A barrel and a heap and I'm talking in my sleep about you.... Remember that one??
